Williams Chinese Restaurant is very good. I've eaten there many times and have no complaints. The service is prompt and friendly. The restaurant itself is a little dated, but well maintained. I recommend the Crispy Beef and the House Chow Mien. read more

This food is delicious! Every time I stay in Williams I eat here for dinner even during Covid they were open for pickup. My husband and I have tried several items and loved them all. read more

We found this place initially in 2016. Since then we've made it a part of our drive from Redding to the Bay Area for the last 4 years. There's always plenty of seating, the service is efficient and they're friendly. The food is really good! Being from the Bay, I have tasted tons of good Chinese food and this place is up there. If you're in the area, stop by and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

We decided to try something new. My wife works in Williams and has heard nothing but amazing reviews of this place. So we gave it a shot and it was the best decision hands down. The flavor was on point and the serving size was plenty, we will have leftovers for the next few days. It's always hard to fine a good Chinese food restaurant in the area worth coming back and this place we will be coming back over and over again. If not we will definitely get food Togo. So if you are coming down or going up interstate 5 and passing Williams pull over and get something good to eat. You will not regret it at all. The twice cook pork just melts in your mouth. The pork fried rice is cooked to perfection. Broccoli beef is so savory you won't want to stop even when you are full. So again go on by order some food enjoy in a very clean environment and great hospitality. The servers will make sure or at least try to make sure you are treated the best even when it's busy. Most of all my son says "I give this place a 5 out of 5 stars and the noodles are my favorite because they are delicious". read more

Surprisingly good Chinese food in the least expected location. I grew up eating good Chinese in Chicago. Then I moved to Southern California and started to think I didn't like Chinese food. That was incorrect. I only like good Chinese food. Williams Chinese Restaurant is good. The shrimp broccoli dinner combo was really tasty and could easily feed two people. Service was pleasant albeit somewhat limited due to the pandemic. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area. read more

I-5 may be known for many things, but being a culinary mecca is not usually one of them. Enter Williams, a monster-processor of tomatoes and a semi-pleasant pit stop on your way through NorCal, as well as the home of a modest Chinese restaurant with a creative name. I love Jr. Whoppers as much as the next guy (gal), but if you need a break from all that lavish cuisine, check this place out. Williams Chinese very much (if perhaps unintentionally) evokes your classic Chinese restaurant: soft carpets on the floor, linen tablecloths with plastic covers over them, placemats decorated with the Chinese zodiac. Our server (and possibly the owner of the place) beamed with pride when we asked for chopsticks - I have never felt more cosmopolitan and worldly in my life! The value here is fantastic; great food in large quantities at great prices. We got the Family Dinner ($9.95 per person gets you one entree each, steamed white or BBQ pork fried rice, eggrolls, fried wonton, and soup of the day). We went with the Szechuan BBQ Pork (spicy) and the Cashew Chicken (savory and mild) - both were fantastic, and we left with a whole extra meal's worth of leftovers. Service was friendly all-around, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and there seemed to be a decent flow of regulars. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be my spot! Next time we're passing through, we'll be sure to stop in. Take a break from all that driving and grab some grub! read more

Ordered a mu-shu vegetable, mapo tofu and kung pao vegetable delight to-go. My husband loved their Mu-Shu vegetable. He is still not over it Mapo tofu tasted great too. I've never had a fusion of Kung Pao Tofu and Vegetable delight which was exactly what the third dish was - Kung Pao Vegetable Delight (doesnt come with tofu) - this tasted equally good, I missed the tofu though. Restaurant is taking all kinds of precautions for covid, they provide u with paper plates and utensils and sauces with pickup orders. Would come back again if I drive by this city. read more

Great service. Fresh veggies. Plenty of good and properly prepared food. Clean restaurant

I was in Williams on business and staying in a hotel. I was hoping to get something delivered and found this restaurant. Unfortunately they do not deliver. Since I heard they were good, I went ahead and ordered the Po Po Platter. I was reading the only menus I could find on-line and when I got there they had doubled the prices. Very rude response when I suggested they update their menu onlinie or get a proper website. Food was OK, but not what was listed on the menu. Since food was just OK, and prices doubled what I was expected, could only give it 2 stars. read more

Been living in Williams for 20+ years and it's still the Best food in town !! Service is always pleasant ! Highly recommend

Food alone merits 5 stars ! Great menu choices. Then there's the taste; again, very good! The service is top notch. The ambiance was 4 star; but you're not eating it! My family, from Napa Valley, love the place. But, their fortune cookies aren't always correct. (Smiley face) read more

I'd travel farther if you really want Chinese. I tried it once and it was putrid. I'll never go back.

Fast convenient great hours great staff has always been one of the spots for the weekend

First time at this restaurant and it was recommended by co-workers. I ordered shrimp fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp and plain chow main. To my surprise it was really good. I'll be back that's for sure. Service was good as well. Waitress was on top of things. Place looked well kept up and when someone left, staff immediately tended the table. All in all, I'll visit it again and so recommend for a good meal. read more

The food here is really good. I was surprised that Williams would have. Chinese spot that was on point. I have never eaten in the restaurant because the dining room had been closed since COVID. We get food here every time we are going to Thunderhill raceway. My only complaint is that the containers don't hold liquid well without spilling if you get a dish that is saucy. The flavors and quality more than make up for the container issue! read more

Best Chinese food of my life. We ordered the hot and sour soup, Mu Shu with vegetables, Chou Mein with vegetables and egg rolls. So so delicious. I loved the statues decorating the restaurant and even though we were just passing through, I'll come back next time I'm in this area! read more

Had come back in because I was really craving some Chinese food. Boy it didn't disappoint! Went and got the family dinner with sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and chicken chow mein. The service and food were very prompt. I also found out if you ask for chili they give you this very spicy chili but it's soooo good! Thinking it's better to eat in than to get for take out. read more

What a surprise , great price, large portions and Chow Main was surprisingly good. Had the house Chow Mein and Bean Curd and Veggies. Would recommend if in area . read more

You know that restaurant that you crave all the time and you do not get enough of? Yep this is the one. Their service is prompt, their food is delicious, and it comes at a great price. You can tell that the owner cares about her business because she's always helping out and making sure her customer's needs are met. I've been to multiple Chinese restaurants in the Sacramento area, Davis area, Salinas area etc. and Williams Chinese restaurant is still at the top. I truly recommend anyone and everyone to go visit. I always do and they always keep coming for more! read more

Best potstickers I have ever eaten anywhere! They are homemade not frozen wholesale like 99% of the potstickers you find at other restaurants. The dumpling wrap is absolutely perfect. The filling is super tasty with great flavor. The individual dumplings are large and you get 6 in an order but do yourself a favor and order extra because they will be the highlight of your meal!!! The rest of the food is your typical Chinese cuisine. Maybe even above average depending on what you order. Overall, good solid food. Food came fairly fast without any problems despite a full dining room and a slightly ditzy waitress. I can't stress this enough: stop here, order potstickers. read more

I ordered a simple meal but got a large amount in return. Every single bite was delicious! The food was tender & hot. The service was friendly & fast & the $ was reasonable! One of the best restaurants in the area! I ordered to go but I Will absolutely come back to sit & eat as it was clean & quiet in the restaurant. read more

Stopped to visit my brother for lunch on a Tuesday. Walked in to be seated immediately with every booth filled except ours. No wait. We kept it simple with their lunch menu not surpassing $6 a plate (view image): Orange Chicken w/ Fried Rice and Kung Pao Beef w/ Chow Mein We timed for a 45 minute lunch, we were in and out with extra conversations while every booth now empty. Efficient. Great service. Quality food. Come visit this gem! read more

Williams Chinese Restaurant - Kung Pao Beef with Chow Mein (Top Left), Orange Chicken with Fried Rice (Bottom Right) - Chinese Near Me - Williams, California

I'll give this place three stars. We drive through Williams often for, well, most of my adult life, and it dawned on us we have never tried this place. The facade is a little un-traditional for a Chinese Restaurant but has that small town feel that could be potentially charming. Entering the restaurant I was happy to see it was clean, a bit worn, it the staff was super attentive and friendly. Kudos to all of them. When it comes to the food, I hate to say that it was lacking in flavor. Growing up in and around the Bay Area I've been fortunate to try many varieties of Chinese cuisine, and the flavor here didn't quite meet the standard. We started off with an Egg Flour soup that was tasty, though overly colored compared to anything else I've ever seen. We were then served vegetable egg rolls, shrimp tempura and wontons. The Shrimp was good but the vegetable egg rolls lacked any seasoning or flavor and the wontons seemed over cooked. On to the main entree I was excited to try their BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Szechuan BBQ Pork, and Chicken with Garlic Sauce. The pork fried rice was different, but good. It had a legit American BBQ flavor as opposed to the usual Char Siu flavor that is usually found in fried rice. The chicken with garlic sauce was probably my favorite, though the sauce was very familiar, almost like the sauce packets you find in the Costco Frozen Yakatori sticks. Same color too. The Szechuan BBQ pork was probably my least favorite. The pork was small slices of thin pork that felt like last night's pork roast chopped up and tossed in a spicy sauce. The unfortunate part is that I could taste the flavorless pork underneath all of the sauce. All in all I give high marks to the staff, and it appears there are some very flavorful items on the menu... but not the standard I'm used to or would expect from a Chinese restaurant. The total was also just over $40 for the two of us, which seems pricey considering I've had similar meals for $25 at Chinese restaurants elsewhere. read more

Fresh food...They messed up our order...we ordered no beef and scallops n other veggies but because they were so nice and the quality of food and freshness was on point it didn't bother us...we just picked it out lol... read more

The food was delicious! We stopped in with grandsons and it was terrific. We ordered extra to take home for left overs. We had honey walnut shrimp, pot stickers, egg rolls, house fried rice, chow mein, garlic chicken and orange chicken. All for only $60! Did I mention SIXTY DOLLARS? Ok for such a great price, what do you expect?? Not what we received that is for sure! Even the grand kids (8 & 4) loved it! The orange chicken was not your typical fast food fair. It was fresh and delicious. Perfectly sweet with a little hot bite! The garlic chicken had a deliciously flavored sauce and while mostly chicken it was adorned by crisp veggies. The pot stickers and honey walnut shrimp are my favorites. They did not disappoint. The shrimp and walnuts had the perfect flavor and the pot stickers were fried with delicate crispness. Downside: waitress was only so so and no dessert. Both not that big of a deal considering this china town worthy fare! read more

Huge portions, delicious, tasty food and fast and friendly service - this restaurant is a must try in Williams.

Good food. Wanted chow mein. Sold me lo mein. Said no difference. Why the two different names then ?

1st time. Last week ordered Combination Fried Rice, Shrimp Stir Fry, Cashew Chicken and Egg Rolls. Everything was really, really good. Good quality.Very fresh. Excellent. I was impressed! Definetly will drive the 8 or 10 miles to pick up food from this place. read more

The food isn't very good and was greasy. They use cheap cuts of fatty meat. The only good thing I can say about this place is the food is cheap but you get what you pay for. I hope I don't have to ever eat here again and do NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

I lived and/or worked in SF for 30 years so perhaps this is not fair, but I was glad to hear from the staff that people come from everywhere for this Chinese food even during COVID. They do have a very good system during this time. But, I ordered the shrimp broccoli "B" dinner. The BBQ rice was ok, a bit hard in places but flavorful. There was a lot of shrimp and broccoli, easily fed two. However, they put too much of the brown sauce in the Styrofoam container and it dripped all over my car through a hole in the bag. The brown sauce also must have oyster sauce in it because it smelled of old oyster or fish sauce. Way too salty. The broccoli was old, had faded spots all over the crowns and chewed as if broccoli that was limp from past its prime. Nevertheless, for the price and the area it is OK. read more

Don't believe what you read on its review page about Williams Chinese Restaurant being in the middle of nowhere, or down in the boondocks. For heaven's sake, it's just across the street from the town's Motel 6. Location, location, location! What you should believe is that this unimaginatively named eatery is a virtual diamond elliptical stylus in a haystack, and while it might be situated on the other side of the railroad tracks, it is on the side with much of the town's commerce. Downtown Williams, west of the tracks, appears to be a ghost town. So if you're the only game in town, as I suspect this place is, why strain the brain for a distinguishing name?--unless the owner's name is William, which is possible, considering the punctuation on the building's outdoor signs. Oh, yeah--about the food: at lunch, similar to most mass-appeal Chinese restaurants, but with an extra touch of quality, similar to the upgrade you find at Panda Express compared to the strip-mall mom&pop. Most lunches are $5.99 and look appetizing. My co-diner got orange chicken with fried rice and wasn't thrilled by the dried orange peel and kung pao chilies cooked in. Conversely, I sampled some and would proclaim the entree a must-order for lunch; so impressive that I barely recall the curry chicken lunch that I liked, but not as much. Driving an hour or more just to dine here, as some reviewers have reported, seems excessive at first blush--this is Williams CA, baby, NOT L.A. or S.F.--but WCR could be the best decent Chinese restaurant outside of Chico, Yuba City, Davis or Sacramento. read more

Something went bad here. Been eating there for years and recommended this place to a lot of people. They must have changed cooks, ordered the House Chow Mein today and there was absolutely no favor, very little meat, "one" shrimp. I'd take Panda any day after tasting this food today. Took them a while to mess this place up, but they succeeded. See Ya! read more

My car broke down and I was hungry. My choices were McDonald's, burger king and Williams Chinese food. My friend said might make us sick and i was like so will McDonald's. I'll take my chances with chinese.. I'm so glad I came it home. So bomb. The staff was good and efficient. I love the surrounding company. The regulars are great. It was kinda like the golden girls. Well if you are in Williams, Ca. Stop on in. Love it. read more

Williams Chinese Restaurant - Almost done. - Chinese Near Me - Williams, California

They prepare very good to go meals very quickly the food is very good and serivngs are ample . In Better days we ate there very often

Had to get gas and saw this place nearby. Lunch specials are $6 to 6.50 which is insanely cheap. I haven't seen prices this low in a long time but maybe other restaurants here are also comparably priced. I ordered Chicken and broccoli with chow fun. It comes with soup of the day which was egg drop soup with tomato. Soup was orange colored so they must have added some food coloring or something which freaked me out a little but I still drank it. My dish was insanely salty and unfortunately my broccoli was drenched in it. I tried really hard to squeeze out the sauce but failed miserably. Chicken was oddly rubbery and didn't taste like chicken to me. The sad thing was after we ordered, we asked the waiter for "no MSG" and he laughed and replied "why? It's good for you." It was really creepy and I wonder if he slipped in some extra for me. read more

Maybe I'm getting to be somewhat of a foodie in my old age. Nah, I'll still eat most anything you put before me without complaining but I do enjoy good food. For over 12 years all I ordered at a particular restaurant was crispy beef. Spicy tangy crispy even eat the red peppers for added heat. Do I'd look forward to service calls on the west side of the valley so I could stop once in a while. Today the plate looked great. And the flavor was spot on. I asked for the crispy beef extra crispy but alas crispy it was not. Even that wasn't too bad until the broccoli was cold. Sigh But on a positive note the tea was hot! read more

This place does not look appealing from the outside but worth the visit if you are in the area or passing by. Inside decor is also very simple but clean. I would recommend Mongolian Beef and Yu-Hsing chicken if you are not into deep fried stuff. Both had good flavor. Overall price-performance is very good. Meal came with mama yelling in the kitchen which we thought added to the ambience :-). Go ahead, give this place a try. read more
